In Saturday Night Live season 43 episode 13, hosted by Jessica Chastain with musical guest Troye Sivan, audiences are in for a night of comedy sketches that poke fun at current events and pop culture, as well as musical performances by the up-and-coming young artist.

As always, the show opens with a political skit, this time taking on the controversial Nunes memo and the ongoing Russia investigation. Chastain proves herself to be a capable comedic actress, portraying a range of characters throughout the night, including a frustrated news anchor and a game show contestant.

One standout sketch features Chastain as a workshop leader teaching women the art of self-defense.

It's a witty and empowering sketch that's sure to be a fan favorite.

The musical performances by Troye Sivan are another highlight of the night, showcasing the artist's unique sound and style. He performs two songs, "My My My!" and "The Good Side," both of which are emotional and heartfelt.

However, the questions soon turn bizarre and uncomfortable as the professor reveals his true intentions. It's a darkly comedic take on the #MeToo movement and the power dynamics at play in situations of abuse and harassment.

Overall, Saturday Night Live season 43 episode 13 is a highly entertaining and well-crafted installment of the long-running comedy series. Chastain's talent and charm shine throughout the night, and the sketches are smart, funny, and inventive. Fans of the show won't want to miss this one.
